Re: Code Update Project -Schedule
Memorandum
Background
At the January 10, 2011 Planning and Development Committee meeting a discussion was held on
the topics, issues, and priorities related to the continued modification of Title 18 - Zoning of the
Auburn City Code. After gathering input from the Committee, a draft schedule was created by staff
showing how the various code changes will be handled in 2011. The purpose of this meeting is to
review the draft schedule with the Committee, and make any necessary changes to it.
Discussion
The Code Update Project includes a series of City initiated code changes and one privately initiated
code change. They are summarized below:
City initiated code changes
Phase 1 Carryover Code Work (cottage housing and cluster subdivision)
Phase 2 Code Update Work - Part I (non-res. zones, parking, landscaping, and variances)
Phase 2 Code Update Work - Part II (non-conforming uses, other procedures)
Miscellaneous code changes (microbreweries, compressed natural gas, master plans, forest
practice regs)
Electric Vehicles
Site Plan Review
Privately initiated code changes
Mosby Farms (agricultural enterprises)
When creating the draft schedule it became apparent that some of the City initiated code changes
could be considered at the same time. As such, staff chose to incorporate the code changes into
four separate tracks. These tracks can be identified in the draft schedule enclosed with this
memorandum. Track 1 will consist of the Phase I carryover work together with miscellaneous code
changes. Track 2 will be the Phase 11 code update work (part 1) together with the new site plan
review process. Track 3 will be a continuation of the Phase 11 code update work (part 11). Track 4
will be the code changes proposed by Burr Mosby of Mosby Farms and the electrical vehicle
ordinance. The subject matter and timing of each track is summarized below:

Also within the draft schedule are the steps needed to accomplish each track. Generally each track
will hold two PCDC meetings to review general concepts and changes to the format of code as well
as a Joint working session with the Planning Commission before the actual code changes go to a
public hearing held by the Planning Commission. Finally, after the public hearing is held the code
changes will go back to the PCDC and Public Works Committee for review, before a decision is
made by the City Council.
